Xeriant’s NexBoard Fire-Resistant Panel Passes Critical NFPA 286 Fire Test, Boosting Commercial Prospects

Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) announced that its NexBoard fire-resistant construction panel has successfully passed the NFPA 286 corner room fire test, a widely recognized industry standard that evaluates how wall and ceiling materials perform under realistic fire conditions. The certification measures factors including flame spread, heat release, smoke development and flashover potential, and is commonly used by building code officials, architects, engineers and insurers when assessing construction materials.

The achievement builds on NexBoard’s previously announced ASTM E84 Class A fire rating and represents a key milestone in its commercialization and regulatory compliance roadmap. According to the company, the certification advances efforts to finalize contracts with building industry customers and supports the broader adoption of NexBoard and its companion NexPatch joint compound across applications including modular housing, multifamily developments, commercial buildings and other fire-resilient construction projects.

NexBoard is an eco-friendly, patent-pending composite construction panel made from plastic and fiber waste, designed to replace products such as drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF, MgO board and other materials used in construction. The product is marketed under Xeriant’s DUREVER brand. Passing the NFPA 286 test is significant because it is often required by building codes for interior wall and ceiling finishes in certain occupancies, such as multifamily and commercial buildings. The test simulates a fire starting in a corner of a room and measures how quickly flames spread and whether flashover occurs, which is when all surfaces in the room ignite simultaneously.

For investors, the news is a positive indicator of the company’s progress in bringing a novel material to market. The construction industry is increasingly focused on fire safety and sustainability, and products like NexBoard that address both could see strong demand. The company’s next steps likely involve leveraging this certification to secure contracts and scale production. More information is available in the company’s newsroom at https://ibn.fm/XERI.

The announcement comes as the building sector seeks alternatives to traditional materials that are both fire-resistant and environmentally friendly. With this certification, Xeriant positions NexBoard as a viable option for developers and builders looking to meet strict fire codes while also reducing waste.
